These bars are really crumbly. I had a hard time cutting them into neat squares.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have needed to cook them for a little longer.

These bars are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of walnut butter, but I really enjoyed these bars. The crunch from the walnuts and graham crackers balanced out the walnut butter flavor perfectly.
